5 Anime Series To Watch Spring 2017

Spring Season started with Huge Bang with titles like Attack On Titan (12 episodes) My Hero Academia (24 episodes) and while these shows are fantastic I think they might have overshadowed other great titles. So we have about a month remaining before the season ends and so i thought to make a list of 5 spring anime series that deserve to be seen before the season ends. These are my picks and this list wont include any sequels or spin-offs.

These children are kept a secret they live in a lab and they are experimented on. One of the children Sana escapes the lab and cross-paths with a stubborn old man named Zouroku and so his organized life is ruined.

Note: The manga Started in 2012 and it’s still Ongoing. The anime series is 12 episodes judging by that it’s either going to be an Open-ending with a possibility for a season 2 or an Original ending to the show.
